Description

The synthesis of C-9-14C-rhein is reported using 14CO2 as a 14C-source. After preparing 14C-1, 8-dimethoxy-3-methylanthraquinone by a condensation reaction, the product is demethylated and the 3-methyl group converted to the corresponding 3-carboxy group. The radio-active yield of the total synthesis, starting with 1 Ci 14CO2 is 6,9% (6, 9 mCi); 352 mg 14rhein is produced with a specific activity of 55,7 mCi/mmol. (author)
